It looks meaningless at first blush. If you look at it in a broader fashion this is a fairly important thing that is happening. Cultural rot is being taken head on and the good guys are winning. It could lead to further battles in this arena now that it has been shown they are winnable.
This football thing is not meaningless at all. It is a clear example of the division in America that was started by Obama and is being pushed by the left.
The players, on the whole, are not brilliant mentally. There is not a single law in America that discriminates against Blacks. In fact, Blacks are over-represented in Arts and sports considering their percentage of the population.
Football fans are generally regular, hard-working middle-class people who want to enjoy sports as a diversion and certainly don't want politics mixed in.
Another thing that is irritating middle-America is the disgusting behavior of Hollywood types and late night talk show scum.
The media is so overwhelmed with bias and so omni-present, we start feeling like we regular, decent people have become obsolete.
But, out in the real world, we are stronger than ever and madder than ever.
I think this is the kind of fed-up disgust that got Trump elected.
